Create instructors

Create aircrafts

• You need first to create aircrafts type as needed (in Fleet/Aircraft types)
• Then you go to Fleet/Aircraft and you select "ADD AN AIRCRAFT"

Flight hours computation

In all formula, due to difference with interpretation of decimal separator in various personnal computer, all values must to write without decimal separator, use X/Y to obtain correct value

Do not forget that time is given in sexacentimal. So to convert in hours you have to divide by 600.

1 minute = 10 sexacentimals
5 minutes = 50 sexacentimals
1 hour = 60 minutes = 600 sexacentimals

1 hundredth of hour = 6 sexacentimals
10 hundredth of hour (=1 tenth of hour) = 60 sexacentimals

Example: for 100,10 €/h

10010*%DURATION/60000

to round at 5 minutes : roundCeil(X,50)

to round with 10 hundredths : roundCeil(X,60)

Flight hour computation formula

Authorized variables:

• %DURATION
• %COUNTER_DEPARTURE
• %COUNTER_ARRIVAL

Authorized functions:

• max(a,b)
• min(a,b)
• abs(a)
• roundCeil(a,b)

Flight hour computation examples

Difference of the hours

%DURATION

Difference of the counters

%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE

Round difference of the hours at (top) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION, 50)

Round difference of the hours at (bottom) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION - 40, 50)

Round difference of the hours at (nearest) 5 minutes

roundCeil(%DURATION - 20, 50)

Difference of the counters plus 5 minutes

%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE + 50

Round difference of the counters at 10 hundreth

roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE, 60)

Greater between difference of the hours and difference of the counters

max(%DURATION, %COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE)

Greater between difference of the hours and round difference of the counters at 5 minutes

max(%DURATION,roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE, 50))

Difference of the counters rounded to the nearest 5 minutes

roundCeil(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL - %COUNTER_DEPARTURE - 25, 50)

Pricing management example

• An aircraft with a cost of 94 € per flight hours, will have:

94*%DURATION/600

• An aircraft with a cost of 110 € per "counter" hours, will have:

110*(%COUNTER_ARRIVAL-%COUNTER_DEPARTURE)/600

• When it's week-end, the cost (100 €) per flight hours is cut to half, the formula will be:

(formatDate('%w', %START_DATE) == 0 OR formatDate('%w', %START_DATE) == 6) ? 50*%DURATION/600 : 100*%DURATION/600

Qualification

You may define your own qualifications (licence, medical, etc.)

For doing that, you got several parameters available:

Time limitation

For qualifications with a time limitation (pilots will have a date to set for this kind of qualification)

Identifier code management

Add a field for entering the id of the qualification attached to the pilot

Obtaining date management

Add a date field for the obtention date of the qualification

Reserved to instructors

Qualifications reserved to instructors

Blocking qualification

Qualifications will be blocking for flight (not for reservation)

Recent experience: "experience formula"

You may create qualifications checking recent experience like hours or landing number.

Like other qualifications, these ones are managed in the qualification manager (admin menu: users/qualification)

Formula checking recent experience have to be set in the "experience formula" column.

In order to make them work after inputting a flight, you have to set on which flight type and/or aircraft type you want the check to be triggered. For flight type, go to admin menu: flights/flight types then go to section Required qualifications (if alone onboard) for a given flight type and check the recent experience. For aircraft type, go to admin menu: fleet/aircraft types then go to section Aircraft types. In qualification column, click onto the image that gonna lead you to a new page then check the recent experience.

Qualification formula

Authorized variables:

• %PILOT

Authorized functions:

• sumFlightHour('pilot id', 'position', 'day', 'aircraft type 1' , 'aircraft type 2', 'aircraft type X')
• sumLandingNumber('pilot id', 'position', 'day', 'aircraft type 1' , 'aircraft type 2', 'aircraft type X')

Accounting

Accountancy tips and tricks

Accounting example

Price item

 160/100*%QTY

"THING" + unique value for each account

 THING+%AUTO_INCREMENT

711 + 3 first letters of login + unique value

 711+substr(%AUTHENTICATION_LOGIN, 0, 3)+%AUTO_INCREMENT

655 + 2nd letter of login + 3rd letter of login

 655+substr(%AUTHENTICATION_LOGIN, 1, 2)

Alert email

The goal is to send a warning email to members whose theirs accounts is below the required threshold.

• Go to Settings/Parameters
• Then scroll down to Account management form
  • Set the balance threshold
  • Choose the frequency recall of the email
  • Set the content of the warning email

• %PILOT
• %LASTNAME
• %FIRSTNAME
• %NOWDATE
• %USER_TZ
• %ENTITY_TZ

Authorized functions for email content:

• formatDate
• addTime
• subTime
• getBalance(a)
• getAccount(a, %PILOT)

Aircraft Type

Tank

• Goal: allow to an admin to create as many tanks (by aircraft type) as he needs.
• Use: for each flight, the pilot would be able to say which quantity has been added for each tank created by the admin, before and/or after the flight.

How to create a tank

• Go to Fleet/Aircraft types
• then action "modify" for a choosen aircraft type
• At the bottom of the page (below "Tank" title):
  • Fill the "Tank" text area with the choosen name (ex: "main tank")
  • Choose a fuel type and an unit
  • Clic on the "Add" button

Reports

Admin are allowed to create their own database SQL extract and to see them on their browser or to save them in an XML file via the "REPORTS" menu.

Get the list of members whom had subscribed this year

SELECT first_name,last_name FROM authentication
RIGHT JOIN member ON member.id=authentication.id WHERE year(member.subscription)=$year
ORDER BY last_name,first_name

User import

You can import member via a CSV file (see details in the concerned page). Here below some particularities with the import file :

• About sex : use M for male and F for female. Others characters and no value mean undefined sex.
• About dates : allowed formats are YYYY-MM-DD and DD-MM-YYYY. D represents the day as a two-digits number, M represents the month as a two-digits number and Y represents the year as a four-digits number. In case you specify a bad format, the import will end at the current line where the error was found, leaving a red message. The current member and the following won't be imported.
• About nationality, use code id. To get code id of your nationality, check here.
